Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Re: lease termination

It is doubtful that by allowing 7 people to move into your apartment that this would be cause for you to break the lease. Unless 5 of these are children, you could ask them to move out or sue to evict them. If these are children you acquired dur to your recent marriage, then perhaps a talk with the landlord to obtain a larger apartment or make a deal to terminate the lease might be in order. Your landlord, however, might have reason to evict you, but this does not necessarily terminate the obligations under the lease to pay rent for the balance of the term.
